A Boston Police officer has
been suspended for allegedly stalking a woman while on duty, WBZ reports.
Details of an internal
investigation by the department were released on Wednesday. They found Sgt.
Joel McCarthy left his patrol district back in February to follow the victim
for miles after pulling her over. Investigators also found McCarthy looked up
her address and went to her home.
McCarthy was found to be in
violation for conduct unbecoming, traffic enforcement, and neglect of duty. He
has been placed on an unpaid suspension for four months and will then be on
probation.

The victim told WBZ that she’s
“happy he’s going to be off the streets,” but questioned whether the four-month
suspension was an adequate punishment.
